There is hurt,
At what I may have missed out on through bad mental health,
A secondary trauma, at the time lost through the effects of traumas and mental quirks,
A feeling of dread, to think what could have replaced that time,
Given the opportunity which existed;
But this is the bad mental health itself talking,
At the extreme, it’s the OCD perfectionism about utilisation of time;
Bad mental health so easily breeds more bad mental health,
Like a software virus;
And this is precisely one of the challenges of being alive,
Of being a human, at this coordinate point in space-time;
There is always value in the experience, in personal histories,
Even awe and wonder, in how the mind can work to heal itself.
